James Pants’ music is like a breath of fresh air; his sound whizzes by you when least expected, which is what makes his music so distinctive. Pants went from being a high school kid with a musical crush on Peanut Butter Wolf to an intern at the Stones Throw Label to an artist on the label’s roster – an essential magical carpet ride where he was able to grow and learn musically from the environment he was now immersed in. Along the way Pants created the critically acclaimed ‘Welcome’ LP, a gold mine for funk, soul, rock and pure madness.
Pants has recently come out with the ‘Cosmic Rap’ 12” where the futuristic sounds he effortlessly generates are heightened to a greater level of intensity, proving to be more talented then what was known, and taking its audience into a deeper appreciation of Pants’ music. On ‘Looks that Kill’, Pants utilization of the bass sounds almost similar to the bass Paul Simon used on Graceland. No one else on an independent hip-hop record label can so naturally combine heavy synthesizers with the rock of the 90s. |
